Fisher 34 Sealion for sale

Sealion was built in 1975 and is one of the first of a long line of renowned motor-sailers still being produced. The lasting appeal of the Fishers has much to do with their timeless appearance, reliability in bad weather and the wheelhouse. This provides a dry and warm environment for the crew to add to a fine sailing performance, as well as the back-up of a powerful engine, truly a boat for all seasons. 
 

Sealion has been lovingly maintained throughout its life, with many additional features, including a bowsprit. Viewing is highly recommended.
